Camera Control via the Z3-HE4K-01 (Optional Upgrade)
9.6
The Z3-HE4K-01 is also available with an optional software upgrade that supports remote control of
compatible video cameras via a USB connection, including cameras that support Sony VISCA protocol.
Potential control actions could include zoom, focus and aperture depending upon your camera model.
Contact your Z3 sales account manager for more information.
If you are using a remote control protocol compatible camera as a video source, you will also need a USB
cable to connect the camera directly to the Z3-HE4K-01 as well as a Windows 7 PC with Com2TCP and
your camera controller software downloaded.
